LOOKING FOR WEDNESDAY.
Which Will Be the Greatest Day
Of the ExnOSition.

OF the Exposition.
The special attraction this week at
the Exposition is the MelvilIes. They
gave their first performance at o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and it was excel
lent, surprising in many of the acts the
most daring deeds of the great Craig
family. These three young men are
marvelS as acrobatS and tumblers, and
models of the finely developed man.
One act in which they spring upon each
others shoulders, the whole three being
on top of one another, is great act and
worthy of larger crowd than witnessed
the performance yesterday. 1t only
needs to let the fact be known, how
ever, how great these acrobats are and
large attendance of the sport
ing fraternity and all lovers
of muscular exercise will not
miss seeing the Melvilles. These young
men are brothers, and have come here
with great reputation, gained in big
trip they lately undertook all over the
country. They will vary their acts dur
ing the engagement, and positively
show twice a day. in the afternoon and
evening at o'clock.
THE WEDDING EVENT.
All the talk in the building now hinges
on the great day of the week. Wednes-
day, when the weddings will occur.
Presents keep pouring i'll, and without
any doubt these young people will profit
handsomely by their little venture. The
ladies are enthusiastic over the dresses

grooms. In yesterdays GLOBE was

ESPECIALLY FOR SCANDINAVIANS.
Thursday and Friday of this week the
Scandinavian art school of Minneapolis
will have members in attendance who
will gladly assist their countrymen and
explain the various features of the dis
play. In accordance with the expressed
wish of many intelligent Scandinavians,
the management have set aside these
two days and specially invite the Nor
wegianS. SwedeS and Danes of this To-
cality to be present in body, when they
will be enabled to compare and con-
trast the works of their several country
men in Ne matter of true artistic WORT,
The collection is a great One-by all
odds the greatest ever shown in public
away from the cities of Chrstiana, Co
penhagen or Stockholm. 1t deserves
peculiarly the careful and critical ex-
animation of all Scandinavians, no less
than the appreciative study of all art
lovers in America. 1t has already
pricked the curiosity of American art
lists, and provoked some adverse criti-
cisms of our local artistic tyros. Peo-
pie should examine it for themselves
especially that large class of Scandina-
vian-AmericanS who know no other
home than America, but are still proud
of the old viking blood in their veins.
